To ensure that Flex Data Services recognizes the ColdFusion Event Gateway Adapter, you edit
the messaging-config.xml file, which is located in the
C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\samples\WEB-INF\flex directory if you installed Flex Data
Services using the default settings.
To enable communication through the Flex Messaging event gateway:
1.
Copy the <adapter-definition> section in which
id=”cfgateway”
from the sample
messaging-config.xml file to the <adapter> section of the web application messaging-
config.xml file.
The sample messaging-config.xml file is located in the C:\fds2\resources\config\flex
folder, and the web application messaging-config.xml file is located in the
C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\samples\WEB-INF\flex folder when you install Flex in the
default location.
2.
Copy the <destination> section in which
id=”ColdFusionGateway”
from the sample
messaging-config.xml file to web application messaging-config.xml file.
3.
Save the file.
